Christmas 2014 is nearly here!  We won’t be able to mine the past for holiday material indefinitely, so we’re hauling as much out of the stacks and middens for your inspection and enjoyment as we can now: the remastered re-release of The Bells of Yule, Cthulu’s 2001 ASCII Art Christmas card… Yesterday you got to see & enjoy our Christmas 1994 intro and some supplementary seasonal ANSIs and lits, and today we magically skip forward a whole year, sharing the greatly-expanded Christmas 1995 intro released (belatedly) as DCXMAS95.ZIP in the MIST0196.ZIP artpack.

As before, this one was spearheaded by Dr. CPU, and now includes a straightfoward programmed “snowfall” effect as well as several ANSIs and a strange piece of high-resolution artwork… all to the splendidly strange seasonal sounds of Sentience, who was at this time releasing music as part of EuphoniX – lightly skipping over the complicated occasion of Christmas, he instead opts for the traditional tune “Old Lang Syne” as written by Scottish poet Robbie Burns… but in a super ‘90s electronic arrangement.  (He is also responsible for the “Mist” logo on the bottom right of that scary Santa skull.  Amiga users, they were all polymaths.)

Full credits in the YouTube video description!  Merry Christ'mist!
